Op'pti'sed to the teller 5 is :t roller 6, the jcurnale of which are m 1 ihtgd iii hearing" blecks 7 r movable "Vertically in the Slide-ways 2'. Attiiched to, inning paint of the top surface of the bflfifing blocks 7 are wear late: 8,- the ed "es hf; which are grooved to embrace the Si es of fliersliderwey's 2- and guide the'vert-ical mdveinent 0f the besir'iiig blocks 7 therein.

The pring holdirigl themes 9 are also rotitled with arms engfigedhy the cross bar 13 of the damp, which releasahly holds the spring hldihg ir'firne'sf iii the pre sure plying positipir. cross; bar- 13 of the chi p is' provided with (3W0 -rr'n's 14 hin ed, is $"6W'Ii 515, tofthe standards 1, be 0w the er'rns l2; eh ie elsfo' provided with a handle 16,- by which it is move to en' age or release the arms 12. The spring .1 01 i'ng Ia'me's' 9, iii the, pressure applying positi n, extend vertically fr'dm the top cf the slideweys 2. and the hi il'ge'me'mbjer's' 10, shearralng'ed at one side of the spring holding fr Ines, and the-arms 12 at, the other, side" ithin the spring hclding frames 9"are spi-ih s 17, the upper'" ends of which are 'prqvided I ably nio'vaj l'e" theepring holding frames, and inserted thrdugh the top of the spring ith caps or wear plates 18, slid Yielding fiamesjr setting screws or bolt l g Hin s wh ti' the use of the W'ringer is discontinued, and bearing against the shoulders 21 are the lower ends of the springs 17.

In the pressure applying position, the spring holding frames 9, overlie the top of the slide-ways 2, with the lower ends of the pressure pins 20 engaging the wear plates 8 and the cross bar 13 of the clamp engag-' ing the arms 12. The engagement of the clamp with the arms of the spring holding frames 9 holds them rigidly in their set position and enables the springs 17 to apply pressure to the bearing blocks 7, through the medium of the pressure. pins 20, this pressure being regulated by the setting screws or bolts 19, and limited only by the shoulders 21 coming into contact with the lower walls of the spring holding frames 9.

To instantaneously release the arms 12 and relieve the pressure on the bearing blocks 7, and consequently upon the roller 6, the clamp is swung on its hinges 15, the roller '6 and bearing blocks 7 then being free, move in a direction awayfrom the roller 5, and bearing blocks 4.

By means of the tension screws or bolts 19, the springs are continually under compression while in'engagement with the pressure pins 20, and the caps or wear plates 18. To restore the pressure on the bearing blocks 7, without relieving the compression of the springs, the arms 12 have downturned or cam shaped ends'12 which enter beneath the cross bar 13 as it moves to the clamping position, and enables the cross bar to slide freely on the arms 12 to their limit of movement, in the clamping directioni. I

The foregoing construction provides a means for continually maintaining a constant compressionof the springs 17, and an uniform pressure on the rollers, and it also provides an instantaneous release of the pressure when the clamp is moved to disengage the arms 12, and 'it also provides for the instantaneous restoration of the pressure when the clamp is again positioned to reengage' the arms of the spring holding frames. I I s Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to se cure by Letters Patent is: I

1. A wringer including a. pair of compression rollers, the journals of one of which are mounted in movable bearings, and means for applying pressure thereto hingedly connected to the wringer, comprising a pair of spring holding frames, spring pressed pins movable through the lower walls of said frames engageablefwith the movable bearings, and releasable means holding the pressure meansv in the pressure applying position. 2. A wringer comprising a pair of com pression rollers, the journals of one of which are mounted in movable bearings, pressure means for the compression rollers consisting of spring holding frames hingedly connected to the wringer frame and provided with clamp engaging arms, pressure pins extending through the lower 'wallsof the spring holding frames and engaging the movable bearings, and releasable clamping means engaging the arms and holding the pressure means in thepressure applying position.

3. A wringer including a'pair of -com- 7 pression rollers,- the journals of one of which are mounted in movable bearings against which pressure is applied, springliolding frames hinged to the wringer frame for movement into and out of the pressure applying position, springs carried by the pression rollers, the journals ofoneof which are mounted in movable bearings, and means for applying pressure thereto hingedly con- 'nected to the wringer comprising a pair of spring holding frames, pressure pins movable through the lower walls of said frames engageable with the movable bearings; ten sion screws, and pressure springs maintained continually under compression by the tension screws and pressure pins; 7 I 5. A w'ringer including a pair of compression rollers, the journals of one of which are mounted in movable bearings, and means for applying pressure thereto hingedly connected to the wringer comprising a pair of spring holding frames, pressure pins-movable through the lower walls of said frames engageable with the movable bearings, tension screws,.pressure springs engaging with the tension screws and pressure pins, said pressure pins having means to limit their movement through the lower walls of said frames in the pressure applying direction,

and maintain the springs in. compression 4 ready for the tr'ansference'of the pressure to the wringer,bearings. I

6. A wringer comprising a wringer frame. a 'pa-irof rollers mounted therein, a second frame hinged to said wringer frame, pressure-applying means carried by said second frame and engaging one of said rollers, 21 camfmember-carried by said second frame. and a member pivoted to said wringer frame and releasably engagingsaid cam member to hold said seco-nd frame in operative position. I

7. A wringer comprising a wringer frame, a pair of rollers mounted therein, a second frame hinged to said wringer frame, pressure-applying means carried by said second frame and normally engaging one of said rollers, a cam member carried by said second frame, and a member pivoted to said wringer frame and adapted to frictionally engage said cam member to hold said second frame in operative position, said pivoted member being releasable from said cam member by outward movement thereof.

8. A wrmger comprising a Wrmger frame, a pair of rollers mounted therein, movable bearings for one of said rollers, a second frame. hlnged to said Wringer frame, a pair of pins yieldingly mounted in said second frame and engaging said bearings, and 15 quick-release means including a cam member fixed to sand second frame and a member plvoted to said wrmger frame and frlotlonall engaging said cam member.
